G D Em C
Headin’ down south to the land of the pines,
I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline
G D C
Starin’ up the road and pray to God I see headlights
G D En C
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours,
pickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
G D C
And I’m a hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
Chorus:
G D Em C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,
any way you feel
G D C
Hey momma, rock me
G D Em C
Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,
like a south bound train
G D C
Hey momma, rock me

Runnin’ from the cold up in New England, I was born
to be a fiddler in an old time string band
G D C
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
G D
Oh, north country winters keep a gettin’ me down
Em C
Lost my money playin’ poker so I had to leave town
G D C
But I ain’t a-turnin’ back to livin’ that old life no more
Chorus:
G D Em C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,
any way you feel

Hey momma, rock me
G D Em C
Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,
like a south bound train

Hey momma, rock me

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out
of Philly had a nice long toke
G D C
But he’s a headin’ west from the Cumberland gap to Johnson City,
Tennessee
G D
I gotta get a move on before the sun
Em C
I hear my baby callin’ my name and I know that she’s the only one
G D C
And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free
Chorus: x2
G D Em C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,
any way you feel

Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,
like a south bound train
G D C
Hey momma, rock me
